Bruce Monroe Elementary School, 2009
This document describes the extensive and complex programs, services and operations of Bruce Monroe Elementary School which is currently in consolidation at Park View Elementary School. It is primarily intended to be used by a developer and architect to formulate a site plan - - and eventually a new school design - - for sharing the former school site with residential, commercial or retail development along Georgia Avenue.
The new elementary school at the Bruce-Monroe site is proposed as a public/private partnership, where a portion of the site will be developed for another use. This is expected to help off-set the public cost of the school. Discussion of what type of development partner would be compatible with the school is not included here. While any development on a portion of the site will have an impact on the size and conditions of the school portion of the site, the educational program goals and the resulting school facility needs remain fairly constant.
